Disability Resources for Students

Disability Resources for Students (DRS) recognizes disability as an aspect of diversity that is integral to society and to our campus community. DRS staff work with admitted University of Washington (UW) students to ensure equal access to UW academic programs and services.

For nearly 40 years Disability Resources for Students (DRS) has been dedicated to ensuring access and inclusion for students with disabilities on the Seattle campus. This includes matriculated students in undergraduate, graduate, professional, Evening Degree, and Access programs. DRS serves over 2,400 students with temporary and permanent physical, health, learning, sensory, or psychological disabilities. DRS partners with students to establish services for their access and inclusion on campus.

All disability accommodations are determined through an interactive process that requires the engagement of both the student and DRS staff.
